2nd Black Friday today?
USA Today was among the publications this week calling Dec. 26 the second Black Friday of this wacky shopping season.
And they say that many desperate retailers are even making the deals bigger.
Day-after-Christmas sales will rival those of the real Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that kicks off the shopping season and can put retailers into money-making territory for the year.
An Associated Press story this morning reports on the folks heading back to the stores today as well.
Among those sales include a 60 percent to 70 percent off sale at Kohl’s, a Doorbusters sale until 1 p.m. today offering $15 off purchases of $75 or more and $10 off $50 or more at JCPenney, huge discounts at Elder-Beerman’s Wrap it Up sale and others. Just check your favorite store.

Who cares about deals? We’ve got bills to pay.

If you buy these so called “deals” put it on a credit card, and take a year to pay for it how much of a deal are you really getting?

Most consumers are getting wise about so called deals. Most deals are nothing but good advertising. Dept Store ABC says towels are 70% off today, but nobody in there right mind would pay “full retail.” The 70% off is a gimmick. The price you’re paying with the 70% off is what the price should really be.

I wonder how much the Dayton Daily News charges companies to advertise there “sales” as legitmate news stories?

Mary is right. Most of the “deals” were marked up before they were marked down. Maybe you could find some good sales in other cities, but not in Dayton.
